On the evidence the defendant's negligent driving caused severe head injuries to the 1st plaintiff producing permanent frontal lobe dementia with personality change and loss of smell; agreed special damages were awarded; the court allowed reasonable amah costs (food and wages) from 20 Nov 1965 to 30 Jun 1969 supported by evidence and capitalised loss of services to the 2nd plaintiff; dizziness was not shown on balance to be caused by the accident; total judgment reflected these findings and avoided double recovery by allocating amah service awards to the 2nd plaintiff.
